TO business Men.

We call the attention of the cusi-
ness men of this city to the value of
the MESSENGER as an advertising me-
dunn. There are about 5 900 colored
people in this city, and nearly all of
them are to some extent influenced by
this paper. viii it not pay you to
ask for a share of their patronage
through their own organ? The colored
people spend not less than $4,000
week here for clothing. groceries,
&C., and their trade is principally
cesh The MESSENGER advises and
urges its readers to patronize the
stores that advertise with us. Several
of our best houses have found it ex-
pedient to keep their advertisement
in our columns.
TIE MESSENGER reaches large
class of people who spend much money
that cannot be reached by any other
paper in the city. Is not this worth
your consideration Our rates are
very low, and it will certainly pay
you to advertise in the MESSENGER.
We have good circulation in the
city and county, as well as all the
neighboring towns.
Our policy and politics are not d.
rected to suit the business men, but
our readers. If our politics were
anything than what they are we would
have no readers. Business men want
to reach the public, they care not by
what source. Advertise in the Mes

From Gilead's Mount to GAIA which by iron

but to show the amount of territory
covered or inhabited by them. This
territory was sub-divided according
to the number of the sons of Noah,
each to live within certain specified
geographical limit.
When the creator had assigned to
each family his allotted territory, it
was proper for them to follow the di-
rectiOns. Any one Overstepping or
going without the limits of his own
territorial boundary for the purpose
of invasion was called rebel
Hence the name NimrOd (meaning
''rebel'' according to our best transla-
tors was given the grandson of Ham
for having invaded the territory of
Shem.
The territory assigned to Canaan
and his descendants was that which
has become for times immemorial
sacred to the muses. in song and story.
The land ''across the river" or cover
Jordan" has given to the Church and
the songs of Zion the sweetest strains.
while their angelic imprOvisations
have filled the courts of Heaven and
earth with the hallowed notes of
sounding praise.
1t was the promise made unto the
patriarch Abraham that has thus made
this land the most famous in the an
mails of human history. All Chris
tians view this important part of his
tory with the greatest satisfaction
from the simple fact it involves an i'm
pOrtant scheme in the transaction of
mans redemption.
From the time the Canaanites ford
ed Jordan, or crossed it on RATS of
timber to enter upon their allotted in
heritance, the sound of industry, the
''hum" of business life resOunded
from valley to valley. was re-echOed
from hill to hill. The mason 5
wooden trOwel leveled the sun-burnt
or kiln-dried bricks, and cleaved the
splashy mortar that cemented them to-
gether.
Cities rose up as if by magic, while
the plOwman drove his primitive yoke
to the field. No one was found idle.
Those who were not thus engaged
were handling the bow and sending
the swift arrow on its death mission
through the forest to rid II Of the
wild beast which rOamed abroad.
NimrOd is the first in shaping and
constituting the plan of social order,
Of cOnceiving the idea of the advan-
tages to be gained by human societies
in cities. The original plan of gov
eminent and empire was by founding
cities within certain distances Of each
other. Hence Nimrod began to build
his empire by founding Babylon,
Ereeh, Accad and Calneh. All these
cities were doubtless included within
a radius of seventy miles. How mis-
taken it ia for many to say or believe
